XIAO SHUXIANG'S

27 - Wen Tian [Revised]

The three boys that Xiao Shuxiang saw were cultivators from the Red Cloud Sect, one of the small sects of the white flow in the Eastern Continent. The place of this sect is close to the Village of Rest.

When compared to the Butterfly Sect which only had eleven disciples and the elder's residence was only an old hut, then the Red Cloud Sect was a small actual sect.

This sect had 60 disciples and increasingly, their residence was much better than Yang Shu's.

The 14-year-old boy is named Wen Tian, his two friends named Tan Bao and Tou Li. The three were having lunch while waiting for their older brother.

Despite coming from the white stream, yet Wen Tian was not a good child. He always bullied his younger siblings and also bullied the children weaker than him.

This is why a person's nature will not be known only from where he comes from. Not all white flow cultivators were good people, and vice versa with black flow cultivators.

Wen Tian himself had a haughty nature and always looked down on others. He looks like a boss to both of his friends.

"... You should know, this Rest Village is nothing compared to the village I once visited with Senior Jiao..." Said Wen Tian with great arrogance.

While the two friends of Wen Tian had such an innocent nature and seemed easy to take advantage of.

They looked so trusting of Wen Tian's words and always made Wen Tian their role model, even though what Wen Tian did was not something good.

Wen Tian continued to brag about his courage against the black flow cultivator, he also chatted about his prowess against the Demonic Beast.

"... With just two sword swings, I could cut off the heads of three Silver Horned Wolves. Even Senior Jiao was so amazed at me back then.ck ck! You will definitely faint when you see my prowess..."

Tan Bao and Tou Li were very excited and were so amazed by Wen Tian's words. Either they were too stupid or what to the point of being so trusting in Wen Tian's bragging without feeling the slightest suspicion.

"Senior Boss, you're so awesome! No one can match you Senior Boss! Tan Bao wants to be like you!?" Tan Bao vigorously massaged Wen Tian's shoulders to get attention from him.

"Senior Boss, you're that great there must be a lot of people who are disinclined by you! You're a Great Senior Boss!" praise Tou Li.

Wen Tian smiled widely, "Of course I'm really great. In this Rest Village, there will be no one who dares to look for trouble with me. Hey, heyh. You guys should know.. I am a genius who only exists once in a thousand years! I'm this.. Wen Tian's! I have a special ability that no child in this Continent has.."

Tan Bao was so excited, "Waaah! Senior Boss, what special ability do you have? I really want to hear it...!"

Tou Li, "Show me Senior Boss...!"

Wen Tian haughtily said, "I have eyes capable of seeing one's true nature with just a single glance. You wouldn't believe it if I didn't show you,"

Wen Tian then turned around to look for someone who could be used as an example for his two friends. His eyes looked at the merchant Tanghlu.

"You see that sweet merchant...? What do you think the merchant is?" Wen Tian had his two friends analyze the nature of the merchant appointed by him according to their respective visions.

This merchant is about 46 years old, has a tall body, strapping, mustache and the look of his face looks firm. The merchant is seen giving some sweets to three small children with a smile.

Tan Bao and Tou Li examined the merchant's facial features and mannerisms, and said that the merchant, despite having a fierce-looking face, was a good person.

"... The way he smiled was so sincere and the children who received the sweets also looked happy." said Tan Bao who was approved by Tou Li.

Wen Tian smiled mockingly, he then shook his head slowly while saying that the abilities of his two friends were too bad.

"... You are still researching from the outside. Listen to me, the merchant is not as good as you think.." Wen Tian slightly lowered his voice, and he began to continue.

"The merchant had a rough hand, from the look of the eye and the way the merchant smiled, I could see that the merchant had a heart like two sides of a coin. The merchant was very fond of girls, but he hated boys so much." Wen Tian explained to Tan Bao and Tou Li as he looked towards the sweets merchant.

Sure enough, the sweets merchant that was being noticed by Wen Tian and his two friends turned out to indeed have a personality that was just like Wen Tian had said.

In a quiet voice, Wen Tian then told his two friends to pay attention to the people sitting around them.

"Now you see those people's gazes. Who do you think they're staring at?" asked Wen Tian.

Tan Bao and Tou Li noticed the gazes of several swordsmen looking at one of the tables, which were being occupied by an old man along with four children.

The old man was none other than Yang Shu and the four children who were with him right now were Qi Xuan, Xiao Lu, Jing Mi and Xiao Shuxiang.

Wen Tian asked his two friends again, "You know the cause of those people staring at them?"

Tan Bao and Tou Li stroked his chin, they seriously noticed Yang Shu and his four disciples. Simultaneously they said that the cause of people staring at Yang Shu and his students was because there were some patches on Yang Shu's clothes.

Wen Tian nodded and praised his two friends, he then told his friend to analyze Yang Shu's nature according to their eyesight.

"That person is like our elder, I feel he is a strong, wise and kind person." Said Tou Li.

Wen Tian shook his head again, "Haah... Don't equate that person with our elders. Look, that person is not at all as strong as the elder, he is indeed a little wise and kind-hearted. He can't be compared to our elders,"

Upon hearing Wen Tian's words, Tan Bao and Tou Li looked back at Yang Shu. They slightly scratched their non-itchy heads while thinking about how Wen Tian would conduct such an analysis.

"Senior Boss, it's not like I don't trust you... But I still want to see your abilities again, Senior Boss." Tan Bao said carefully.

"Sure, sure. Don't bother with this seniormu. Now, I want you to pay attention to the four children sitting together with the old man. Tell me what their nature is like,"

Tan Bao looked at Qi Xuan, he then said that the child had a wise nature, ". judging from his face, the child could be a leader, he said, he also looks smart and kind."

"The girl beside the child was chatty and also arrogant, while the two boys who were in front of him had a submissive nature.." Tou Li also issued his opinion.

Wen Tian said that his two friends only gave answers like ordinary people in general.

Wen Tian told his two friends to get a little closer to him, he then turned his gaze to Qi Xuan while giving an explanation to Tan Bao and Tou Li.

"The boy had a heart like paper. When he grows up, he can be as wise as you say he is. But actually, he can be very dangerous and also vindictive. It all depends on the problem the child is facing.."

Wen Tian's gaze then turned to Xiao Lu, who was sitting beside Qi Xuan. Xiao Lu was seen drinking a glass of water in front of him as he excitedly thanked the waiter who delivered food to himself as well as his friends.

"... And the girl beside him was a whiny and timid girl. He covered his nature with arrogance. While the boy in front of him.he was a child who had a loyal heart of comrades."

Tou Li asked how strong the children they were looking at were, because the age of the three children seemed to be the same age as Wen Tian.

"... Are they as strong as you, Senior Boss?"

"What are you talking about? They're still like newly hatched birds, even you two are much stronger than they are.." Wen Tian patted the backs of Tan Bao and Tou Li.

Tan Bao and Tou Li were so amazed that they could not believe Wen Tian's words. They asked a few times and Wen Tian replied seriously.

"... That's absolutely true. If you fight with them, then you will win without the slightest injury. I told you, my eyes are so special!"

Wen Tian confidently, told his two friends to take care of the smallest child, ". and for a child of the same age as you, he has nature!!" Wen Tian gasped as the child he noticed turned towards him.

Wen Tian's eyes were rounded and his breathing choked as his eyes met the eyes of the seven-year-old. Wen Tian was shocked as the child he looked at smiled.

"That-that's..." Wen Tian was so nervous, his face started to look pale.

Tan Bao and Tou Li frowned, they were both astonished by Wen Tian's attitude.

"Senior Boss, what's wrong with you?" tan Bao asked as he gently patted Wen Tian's shoulder.

"Th-that's a..."

"What's Senior Boss?"

Tou Li and Tan Bao started to worry because Wen Tian's face was so pale that even their Senior Boss' hands were cold. A few sweat spots formed on Wen Tian's forehead.

Xiao Shuxiang increasingly smiled towards Wen Tian who was staring at him, slowly Xiao Shuxiang stood up from his seat.

Yang Shu realized Xiao Shuxiang was walking over and began to ask, "Xiao'Er? Where are you going?"

"I won't be far away Kek, just getting acquainted with someone." Xiao Shuxiang replied without turning his head towards Yang Shu.

Jing Mi, Xiao Lu and Qi Xuan looked astonished, yet they only noticed Xiao Shuxiang walking to one of the benches, where three children were seated at that spot.

Wen Tian tried to swallow his saliva as Xiao Shuxiang slowly walked over to him.

"Hi, can I meet you?" Xiao Shuxiang greeted Wen Tian and his two friends when he was already close to them.

Wen Tian grew even more shocked when he heard Xiao Shuxiang's voice, moreover Xiao Shuxiang was seen greeting him with a smile.

Tan Bao and Tou Li looked confused, but they still answered Xiao Shuxiang's greeting.

"My name is Tan Bao, and this is Tou Li..." Tan Bao said soberly.

Xiao Shuxiang then asked about the child who was with them. He was a little surprised because this boy looked scared. "What's wrong with you?"

It was almost as if Wen Tian's heart had stopped beating when Xiao Shuxiang asked him. With all his might, he shook his head.

Xiao Shuxiang then asked Tan Bao and Tou Li, but the two shook their heads while saying they also did not know the cause of their Senior Boss like this.

Not too long ago Xiao Shuxiang asked back, Wen Tian tremblingly asked that Tan Bao and Tou Li follow him. He reasoned to have been waited for by his senior, when in fact Wen Tian only wanted to stay away from Xiao Shuxiang.

"Senior Boss, isn't Senior Jiao telling us to wait for him here...?" Tan Bao looked astonished.

"Ti-ti-no, Se-senior Jiao.. is waiting for us in-there" Wen Tian replied trying to stand up and pull the hands of his two friends.

Not a few steps away, Wen Tian was startled by Xiao Shuxiang's voice.

"I hope we meet again! Because I don't know your name yet!"

Wen Tian sped his way up, he strenuously stepped away from the place where Xiao Shuxiang was standing. Tan Bao and Tou Li could feel their Senior Boss hands being so cold and trembling.

When Wen Tian and his two friends were already very far away from Xiao Shuxiang-he immediately sat on the ground. He rubbed his chest and tried to calm his beating heart very quickly.

Tan Bao and Tou Li gasped, they asked worriedly.

"Senior Boss?!" Are you okay, Senior Boss?!"

"Your face looks pale, Senior Boss?!"

Tan Bao and Tou Li gently rubbed Wen Tian's back, they were worried that Wen Tian had fainted.

"Listen, a-that kid..." Wen Tian caught his breath, nervously saying to his two friends that the boy who greeted them earlier was no ordinary child.

"A-I've never seen a child who has such a black heart before. I hope I won't see her again!!" Wen Tian rubbed his sweaty forehead, he still could not forget his encounter with Xiao Shuxiang.
